1953 Map of Richmond

About this map

Richmond sits at the northern edge of this Wheeler County landscape, which transitions from the high elevations of Butler Mountain and Steamboat Mountain down into a complex system of creek drainages and meadows. The area's mid-century ranching and agrarian character is evident in the presence of the Sixshooter Ranch and several designated meadows like Blann Meadow and Bearway Meadow. The geography is defined by deeply cut drainages such as Indian Hollow Creek and Hardscrabble Creek, which create a rugged terrain punctuated by high flats like Waterman Flat.
